Looks like there are still saw marks on it which could help explain the lack of visible metal (hasn't been polished to shine yet). I know that Dhofar 20 is very weathered so maybe that could explain the lack of visible metal? Just my two cents, Rhett Bourland www.evansville.net/~rbourlan -----Original Message----- From: meteorite-list-admin_at_meteoritecentral.com [mailto:meteorite-list-admin_at_meteoritecentral.com]On Behalf Of Robert Beauford Sent: Saturday, March 10, 2001 2:15 AM To: meteorite-list_at_meteoritecentral.com Subject: [meteorite-list] What is this? Any opinions on this item would be greatly appreciated. I purchased this as Dhofar 020, but I'm pretty sure it isn't... even though I've never seen a Dhofar 020 cut. The type doesn't fit the appearance. My first thought was that it isn't a meteorite, but after microscopic examination I'm not sure. It looks like a highly altered chondrite with heavy shock or melt veining (even more than is visible in the pic). Several things that seem to have once been chondrules.... Iron rich, but not a single speck of metalic metal. http://laplaza.org/~wendirob/met1temp.jpg ???
